Xpert Solution: Kano Model
aytm’s Xpert Solutions is the latest agile insights automation technology covering the entire cycle - from survey programming to reporting. Xpert Solutions allows you to break out of the limitations of “black box” survey templates while benefiting from the simplicity of a guided interface.
KANO MODEL
The Kano Model is a methodology for evaluating product features by assessing user satisfaction along both positive and negative dimensions: that is, how users feel if a feature is present (positive or “functional” dimension) and how they feel if a feature is absent (negative or “dysfunctional” dimension). Responses across both dimensions can be classified into six categories, which serve as a guide for feature prioritization.
- Attractive features are features that are unexpected (their absence causes no dissatisfaction) but that, when present, are highly satisfying to users. Attractive features are often thought of as Exciters or Delighters.
- Performance features are those that have a linear relationship with satisfaction. These are features that we think of as traditionally satisfying – the more they are present, the more satisfied users are and the more they are absent, the less satisfied the users are.
- Must-Be features are those that are required or expected by users (i.e., their absence causes low satisfaction) but which contribute little to satisfaction beyond their mere (required) existence.
- Indifferent features are features that have no real impact on satisfaction either way – whether they are present or absent.
- Reverse features are features that users actively do not want. Their absence is desired, and it contributes to satisfaction, whereas their presence yields dissatisfaction. Reverse features are uncommon
- Questionable features are those that receive conflicting responses, such as positively evaluating both the presence and absence of a feature. Such responses may indicate that there’s something wrong with your questions or respondents’ understanding of the feature.
aytm’s Kano Xpert Solution allows you to test up to 20 features with an interactive report that allows you to toggle between 4 Kano analysis models.
Getting Started
From your aytm account Dashboard click on the Kano Model edit icon to open a new Input Page.
This will take you to the Input page of the Xpert Solution Kano Model Test template:
Building your Kano Model Xpert Solution
From the Input page of a Kano Xpert Solution, it's as simple as following the directions on the screen. We have built a templated format and will ask a few simple questions and build the survey based on your input.
We will ask you for information around the objectives, the category, and purchase type of the concept. This information helps build the automated key findings report, which we will discuss later.
You can choose to add screening criteria, if you have a standard set of screening questions, you will have the opportunity to customize custom pre-qualifications questions.
